Perhaps not... Backgrouding a process is perfectly legitimate. I would first look the convert script and make sure that that it's exiting correctly. And before that I would check that there's enough free /tmp.

Hi. The problem is that each of the jobs is backgrounded (by the &) so you end up creating 2000 processes in saveimage() all trying to do conversions at the same time and taking the machine to it's knees. You just need to remove the & from the two $job= lines. -Craig On Jul 30, 3:48 pm, "Aaron Cooper" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all.
